When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land. (from amazon.com).

A lively crowd of adults and children were amazed by how electricity works. Thanks so much to Carl VanTine and his crew and the Mohawk Valley Library Association for loaning all the wonderful materials.
